M5 computer glitch

Recently, a tunnel in one of the major toll road - M5(Motorway5) that links Central Sydney to the South West, Southern Highlands, Canberra and beyond was shutdown due to a computer glitch. This was the second time in 4 months this has happened.

I heard in the 2UE radio that why do you need a computer to operate the tunnel. I read in papers that the computer control the fresh-air inflow to the tunnel and monitors the temperature etc.

May be the tunnel operator didn't upgrade his h/w or didn't purchase license for the software.

My DVD's

Pretty late, I have a handful collection of DVD's mostly English movies, few Tamil movies.

I will post all the names in my next post.

My wife has a few good collections of old Hindi movies(lates 70's and 80's) and my son has a good collection of his own cartoon and children's movies(like Tin Tin, Thomas the Tank engine, Asterix etc)
